Digital health interventions to help living with cancer: A systematic review of participants' engagement and psychosocial effects.

The present review showed that despite the heterogeneity in the studies assessed and inconsistent results, DI may constitute an excellent means to help cancer patients and survivors cope better with the disease and with treatment side effects, as they can improve self-management and wellbeing. In order to acquire a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying cancer patients'/survivors' psychological and behavioral changes in terms of adopting DI, direct comparison between studies is needed. However, this can only come about if methodological and conceptual standardization of DI is implemented.
